It's one of the strangest concepts in the already strange field of quantum physics: Measuring the condition or state of a quantum particle like an electron can instantly change the state of another electron even if it's light-years away.
Due east along Guangdong's coastline, one of the region's most sophisticated technological projects, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Complex, is also the stage for a cutting-edge experiment in high-energy physics: measuring the proportion of electron antineutrinos from the nuclear reactors that morph into other types, or generations, of these leptons as they speed through space.
Mass, in physics, quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter.
Moment of inertia, in physics, quantitative measure of the rotational inertia of a body i.e., the opposition that the body exhibits to having its speed of rotation about an axis altered by the application of a torque (turning force).
This technology, based on Newtonian physics, involves measuring disturbances to the missile in three axes.
Another valuable article, in The Economist, notes how some of the reassuring statements made by the risk commission in the days preceding the earthquake came in the face of panicked public reactions to unofficial earthquake predictions from Giampaolo Giuliani, a technician at a national physics institute measuring radon levels.
Although there was no significant group difference in terms of learning between the two conditions, participants who played the nonlinear version of the game showed significant improvement on qualitative physics understanding measured by the pre- and posttests while the participants in the linear condition did not.
The study of condensed matter physics involves measuring various material properties via experimental probes along with using techniques of theoretical physics to develop mathematical models that help in understanding physical behavior.
THE story of Schrödinger's cat illustrates a nice finding of particle physics: you cannot measure something without changing its outcome.
Precise atomic physics experiments could measure the effect of the fifth force on atoms, and most interestingly to me personally (since I work on it), this is the first plausible theory I have come across in which the Large Hadron Collider can contribute to the understanding Dark Energy.
